         5 . The device of  claim 4 , further comprising a plurality of machine translation models including the machine translation model, wherein the machine translation engine identifies one machine translation model from among the plurality of machine translation models to which to send the request. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the operating system comprises one or more resource loader components for loading the software resource for the application, at least one of the one or more resource loader components including a modification that enables the operating system to send the request to the machine translation model to translate the software resource from the first language to the preferred language. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the machine translation model includes a machine learning (ML) model which receives the software resource as an input and provides the translated software resource in the preferred language as an output. 
     
     
         8 . A method for translating a software resource of an application in real time, comprising:
 receiving an indication to load the software resource, the software resource being in a first language;   determining if the first language is a preferred language for a user;   if the first language is not the preferred language for the user, sending a request to a machine translation model to translate the software resource from the first language to the preferred language;   receiving a translated software resource in the preferred language; and   loading the translated software resource.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 , further comprising:
 determine if the machine translation model to translate the software resource from the first language to the preferred language is stored on a device on which the application is stored;   if the machine translation model is not available on the device, identifying an alternative preferred language for translating the resource;   sending a request to an alternative preferred language machine translation model to translate the software resource from the first language to the alternative preferred language;   receiving the translated software resource in the alternative preferred language; and   loading the translated software resource in the alternative preferred language.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising:
 determining if the alternative preferred language machine translation model is stored on the device; and   if the alternative preferred language machine translation model is not stored on the device, sending a request to a server via a network to deploy the machine translation model to the device.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 8 , further comprising:
 receiving a request to launch the application; and   receiving the indication to load the software resource.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the machine translation model includes a machine learning (ML) model which receives the software resource as an input and provides the translated software resource in the preferred language as an output.
